Twitter

I think that bring Twitter into the classroom is a bad idea.  The fact that students already have twitters to have socail interaction makes it almost impossible to incorporate it into the classroom. Students will be distracted and teacher will not be able to tell if the student is actively participating or tweeting to friends.  I understand that the concept of Twitter may be useful within the classroom but using a site made for social networking in the classroom would be a disaster. If there was another site simular to Twitter I would definantly consider using it within my class.
